Dance with the sound of Life

I have heard from many that Jackson Hole is magical during the summertime. 

did I believe them? sure. 

did I understand them? nope. 

Here I am. 12:17pm. On a break from work and I can honestly not think of the last time I was truly this happy. I'm not happy for the family, or my friends, I'm not putting on a show or "faking it until making it"

I happy.

One simple word. Happy. 

It is blowing my mind. 

I was so unhappy and miserable just weeks ago. 

I cried myself to sleep almost every night. 

I got upset over things that were not worth getting upset over. 

And here I am.

A new person. 

New people in my life. 

New job. 

New ward. 

New life. 

phenomenal. 

I get up and go to work. 

Happily. 

I smile and laugh and dance and sing. 

on a regular basis again! 

I can't remember the last time I moped around. 

(okay that is partially a lie. The other night I saw that one of my friends was posting things on Facebook and she seemed happy[long long long long long story], I was tired and got a little emotional, BUT it was barely 30 minutes of sadness when I realized I had no reason to fret)

I have boys interested in me. 

I have friends left and right. 

I have a job. 

An awesome singles ward. 

I get to live with my amazing family. 

I'm making/saving money!

It is beginning to feel like summer time!

The Rodeo has begun! 

I have somewhat learned to balance my play time and my alone time without feeling like I need to have more of a social life, or less of one. 

I meet new people everyday. 

I learn something new everyday. 

AND I am really growing as a person. 

The list could go on for ages! 

I get to see and be with my friends everyday. 

If I am not with my friends that I work with I 

am with my friends at the Bar-T5. 

What a blessing to have so many great people in my life!

I am literally surrounded in people who appreciate 

the fun loving silly me!

I am being treated properly and I 

really feel like all of these people like me for... ME!

Not only are the people great here, but 

I am living in such a beautiful area!

Mountains everywhere. 

beautiful beautiful beautiful

Lakes within driving distance.

Hot springs. 

Animals. Baby moose, bears, birds, elk!

I mean honestly, this is a pretty sweet place to live!

I can hike, bike, swim, anything any day

The stars. 

That's a whole new story!

I can sit out and look at the stars for hours.

they are never ending. 

Like the Whipple freckles.

It is so peaceful. 

I often wonder, (I know this is so cheesy)

who is looking at the stars the same night as me. 

My mind can not even grasp things like that.

I have had so many perfect nights the last few weeks

sitting around a campfire. 

singing songs, talking, joking, laughing. 

Sitting under the blanket of stars. 

With people who are so great. 

I have never experienced anything so magical. 

I understand why Jackson is so magical. 

It is beautiful. 

The people I have met are amazing. 

and I am finding myself more and more everyday!

It is a feeling I can not explain. 

One that can only feel and understand by experiencing! 

oh, how lucky am I!

I will only be single once. 

I will only be this age one!

and I was taking advantage of that.

Not anymore. 

I wake up everyday and smile. 

I will not let these precious time slip through my fingers. 

I laugh at myself. 

There is no better time than to better myself and become a stronger person. 

I dance with the sound of life. 

I take every second in as if I will never be able to feel it again!
